SonarQube: Change rules "time to fix" estimation and issue type

Question

I have created a new quality profile in SonarQube 5.5 and added the rules I want to have with the severity (Info, Minor, Major, Critical, Blocker) I want to have - no problem so far.

Now I want to

• edit the "time to fix" for each rule individually
• add the classification for each rule (is it a bug, a violation or a code smell). This should be done on a "global level" for all projects. I know I can change the classification on a "per project" level.

Answer 1

• You need the Governance commercial plugin to modify the rule time to fix (more precisely remediation cost/function in SonarQube terminology)
  • You cannot change the classification of a rule. You can only change the classification of a rule violation, i.e. issues.
